“Are you eligible for Italian citizenship?”
On March 28, 2025 the Italian government issued a decreto-legge, in English means Decree-Law, that imposes strict requirements over Italian Dual Citizenship. In this presentation we are going to review historical Italian citizenship law, previous ways to qualify, what the decreto-legge includes, additional draft law to be aware of, who qualifies under the law as it stands right now, and what can be done to start the process of acquiring Italian Citizenship. Keep in mind everything in this presentation may change in the coming month, months, or year!
